Nothing. And I'm not even picking on dogs with this statement: a kitten trying to look fierce as it stalks and then jumps on your hand, trying to bite your thumb as you tussle with him, scores something like an "11" on a 5-point cuteness scale. And you can get away with it because little kitten claws and teeth are sharp but don't have much force behind them.<BR/><BR/>But when the kitten gets a little older, a little bigger--well, they tend to not realize they're bigger and stronger and effectively <I>pointier</I>, so wrestling with a cat is kinda cute in theory and kind of <I>fucking painful</I> in practice.<BR/><BR/>Which is why cat toys are awesome.<BR/><BR/>Point being, you can play with a cat, and even wrestle with him to some extent if you want to (tho' in the latter case you may have to discourage him from pouncing on your hands and feet when he grows up).Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275812152895151542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-62627827382528881522008-08-28T11:07:00.000-06:002008-08-28T11:07:00.000-06:00Yeah, I'm definitely not a fan of birds.

My mom tried to keep birds a couple of times and no one was able to give them the attention they needed, so they were given away to people that could. The last bird she had, an African grey, tried to pierce my ear for me while he was walking on my shoulder once. Fish are nice to look at, but they're more like a piece of art than a pet.mattwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934926340973044413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-14514865818197155542008-08-28T10:50:00.000-06:002008-08-28T10:50:00.000-06:00Love animals, period.

But he's a good little guy and, like Michelle, I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn to walk him in the rain.<BR/><BR/>(He is, however, pretty assertive in the mornings about getting his breakfast, so I'm not totally off the hook in the mornings.)Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275812152895151542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-91307286799382424762008-08-27T18:42:00.000-06:002008-08-27T18:42:00.000-06:00Maow.Maow.Random Michelle Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817444379694818074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-88379906123146671292008-08-27T18:41:00.000-06:002008-08-27T18:41:00.000-06:00Cats care--they care a lot.They just refuse to LET...Cats care--they care a lot.<BR/><BR/>They just refuse to LET you know they care.<BR/><BR/>Kat regularly follows me from room to room, and then sits with his back to me.<BR/><BR/>And they're almost always at the door when we come home--pretending to be interested in something else.<BR/><BR/>Actually, come to think of it.
